Subject: [PATCH 5.11 028/306] net: phy: fix save wrong speed and duplex problem if autoneg is on

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

From: Guangbin Huang <huangguangbin2@...wei.com>

commit d9032dba5a2b2bbf0fdce67c8795300ec9923b43 upstream.

If phy uses generic driver and autoneg is on, enter command
"ethtool -s eth0 speed 50" will not change phy speed actually, but
command "ethtool eth0" shows speed is 50Mb/s because phydev->speed
has been set to 50 and no update later.

And duplex setting has same problem too.

However, if autoneg is on, phy only changes speed and duplex according to
phydev->advertising, but not phydev->speed and phydev->duplex. So in this
case, phydev->speed and phydev->duplex don't need to be set in function
phy_ethtool_ksettings_set() if autoneg is on.
